HOUSTON—The mother of a missing 4-year-old Texas girl was heckled outside a courtroom on May 13 by people who questioned if she had done enough to protect her daughter before her disappearance.
Brittany Bowens, Maleah Davis’s mother, along with her spokesman, community activist Quanell X, showed up for a scheduled court hearing for Derion Vence, her former fiance who is charged in connection with the girl’s disappearance. The hearing was canceled, though, and Vence’s next hearing was scheduled for July 10. His attorney didn’t immediately reply to calls seeking comment.
